    Just by a quick measurement we are limited mainly by height with the radiator support.. Gives me 8". The TJM stealth 15k is only 7.5" tall. Width and depth are plenty in the bumper, so why not just get that? haha its not much more than the warn m8000s

    Isn't there something in between? That seems a bit overkill for our trucks.

    It is I was just surprised I could fit it. I found their 12k winch on sale for $804, normal is over $1200, so I'll be ordering that tonight. I was originally looking for the 9k and 10k ones but those are rare apparently

    Got my high clearance rear winch bumper with light cut outs swing out tire Carrier with rotopax mounts and fold down table. I guess the rear winch bumper is the first of its kind according to Billy :) . It's at powder coat now should be done tomorrow :) I'll post pics when I get her. Super impressed with his work, I think it's going to look really good once it's on. One question for everyone running one. What do you guys do with your exhaust? Just cut it after it comes over the rear diff?

    Enough to make it a lot of fun!
    Well it happened today. I cut my bed sides off wits the help of @Squeaky Penguin. The whole install only took about 2.5 hours.:yay:

    Got the stock bumper and hitch off with no problem.


    Then came the cut line. Brute force makes it easy. Just cut the fenders at the same hight as the tail light.


    The first fender I took my time, being that I was kind of nervous about it. The second one took about a quarter of the time.:sawzall:

    Man that cut looks really high on the truck.

    The final install went really easy and fast. Just had to adjust the placement a little and we were fine.




    Sorry I didn't get a pic with the tire on there. I had to go get three lug nuts for the spare. But it looks great on the truck. All I have left is to put some fog lights in the bumper and put my rotopax on the swing out.

    Looking great man! The only thing about these bumpers is I wish Billy angled out the tire carrier a little bit

    :gossip: You mean like mine? All you have to do is ask. I don't remember if I even said "Please" or not.

    Billy should be making a relocation mount. I got the prototype.

    Those of you with the high clearance, I think @Pelfreybilt makes some brackets to stabilize your bedsides. They flap in the wind if you don't. Not sure if Billy makes some.

    @MattB77 Your bumper looks sick. Never would have thought to do that. Let us know how that works out!

    I'm regretting not having a winch. Might get one down the line.

    @SixthSnail thanks man. Ya I figured I'm never going to haul a trailer so f it just throw a winch in that spot. Actually getting a winch will be a little ways out since Christmas is just around the corner and have to buy presents. But I will get one eventually. Def will post pics though once it's on. Super stoked! Gotta figure out where I'm going to mount the camera

    I've seen most people mount theirs on their swing out just below the spare. Seems like a good spot.

    I don't think I'll ever tow either unless I keep this truck for a long time. Once I have a garage, I want to build an off-road tear drop trailer.

    For the winch, one thing to keep in mind that I'm sure you thought about. If you have the flip up license plate bracket like I do, the spring on it is very powerful (Like it takes way more effort to lift it than you would guess). You would have to hold it up the entire time you are going to use the winch. I'd recommend putting in some kind of bar that you can use to keep it held clear of the winch line.

    :thumbsup: THAT is a sweet looking set up! I'm looking for a rear high clearance and this has a lot of what I'm looking for. About how much did you pay, if you don't mind? Looking forward to seeing it mounted. (BTW, I just chopped my exhaust after the rear axle. Dumped down into the ground.)
